I've watched and followed a lot of the threads around NMIXX' debut, because it took me by surprise, I wasn't aware their debut was today.
First out of curiosity, and then after I watched and listened to the song a few times with fascination, and then later on with a slight frown, bemusement and wonder.
The enormous backlash on the song, while understandable, was more than I expected. And so different from my own experiences.
I actually really loved some parts of the song, overall the song was a blop to me, for now.
Which makes me think back, this is not the 1st time my own experience of a song runs completely contrary to the majority:
- most people love Tank more, while I'm thinking 'really?? The song with the neverending 'freaky fish' part!?! How can they not like O.O better??'
- a lot of people hated and bashed ZZB, aside from the choruses I liked the song, it's catchy af and I could see why the RV girls loved it, their enjoyment just radiates off them in their ZZB performances
- most people loved Blackpink's D4 and KTL, the songs didn't move me while I loved AIIYL and Whistle
The list goes on and on.
I've gotten used to it, these days I just shrug and think, 'different people, different tastes and apparently my taste is different from the majority'
Do you also experience this from time to time, that your taste runs completely opposite from the vast majority of people? Or do you find that what you like, most people end up liking and what you dislike is generally disliked by a majority?
